  1. I have been getting a really strong smell of fuel coming in the car recently. It doesn't happen all the time though. Looking under the bonnet I can see the fuel lines going to the fuel rail but no signs of any leaks. Is it a common problem on golf vr6's?
  2. The clutch cable feels very slack and worn on my golf so gonna replace it, seems there are two. Does anyone have any experience in this or can offer any tips? Much appreciated
  3. Do you HAVE to get the ECU reset? If so how is it done?
  4. Took my vr6 to the garage because it was running a bit rough on idle and light pressure acceleration.

  9. What I've got is a full on in your face misfire gradually getting worse. Have read about dodgy coil packs so will try first to see if it is. Can get it looked at by proffessionals but am strapped for cash at the moment.
  10. have just been quoted £130 inc
  11. Just bought a Vr6 Golf and it's simply awesome. May be in need of a new coil pack though. Can anyone suggest where the best place to buy from would be? I live in essex.
